As my kids get older and I spend less time with them, I look forward to visiting new countries. While I’ve been to Norway and Oslo before, I wasn’t able to make the SQL Saturday last year. I am lucky that they accepted my submission and I’m heading SQL Saturday #746 – Oslo in a week.

There’s a great schedule with some amazing sessions to watch. I’m on it with my Bringing DevOps to the Database talk, showing you the process and idea behind adding your database development to an application DevOps pipeline.

I’m also looking to try and get to Oslo early Friday and spend a little time hiking somewhere and enjoying the beautiful space. It’s on my list to travel up the West side of the country some day, and even get to Svalbard, but that will have to wait for a less busy time when my wife can join me.

If you’re near Oslo, come to an amazing event and enjoy a little time in a little city by the sea.
